Overview of the Message Event Interface
The Message Event Interface enables an application running on the
VPO management server to register for and receive Message Events. A
message event is generated whenever the status of a VPO message
changes in any way. For example, a message event can be generated if an
annotation is added to a message, if the ownership of a message changes,
etc. This is a read-only interface, so that if a message event is sent from a
source, for example, the VPO Message Browser, the application will be
informed.
This interface might be used, for example, by a message viewing
application to update the status of the messages displayed by the
application.
